Nature loves it.

It has been raining all day, sometimes just drizzle and sometimes a nice presummer rain. We managed to take a walk while the rain wasn’t too bad but after that every time I’ve opened the door to let the dogs out they’ve just looked outside and turned back in again.

I think we might have reached 10C (50F) and even though it wasn’t especially warm it still has felt rather nice outside and I have been able to have the kitchen door open for a while. There’s one radiator working to push out any dampness that would have filled up my cottage otherwise.

Nature loves this weather though so I’m not complaining too much. I’ve done very little today, I’ve taken a long nap and I’ve made pancakes 🙂 I just bought 32 eggs from a work friend, just in time actually because the day after I got them a fox found its way in to the hen and killed all but five of them. She knows it was a fox because it was still standing there when she went to clean up in the hen house. Well foxes need food too.

There’s absolutely nothing I want to watch on tv tonight and I suddenly realized that the book I’ve started reading was a bit too familiar, I’ve already read it before. I do have some dvd’s I haven’t watched yet and have lots of other books I haven’t read either so I might do one of those instead.

    Hi Christer,
    Today started out foggy and damp. It must have rained during the night because there were puddles. But the fog has burned off some and now it’s warm. 75⁰F. The weather service says it’s supposed to be 95⁰F today and even hotter tomorrow. There’s still a decent cloud cover so that hasn’t happened yet. I put the AC unit in the window last night to be ready for the heat. Then I put on a sweater because it was chilly. 😄
    Have a great evening.

      Hi Caryn!

      We won’t even reach 68F this coming week 🙂 I would however not want to come even close to 95F, not even during summer 🙂 They’re guessing that we might get a foggy early morning and I wouldn’t mind that at all.

      Well if You put the AC unit on very cold You won’t have put on the sweater unnecessarily 🙂 🙂 🙂

      Have a great day!

    Christer,
    Everything is so wonderfully green. You have so many plants and trees growing I wish I had such a green thumb. I sod have flowers in the front garden, but I have left the backyard untouched. It is the dogs’ place. They run all around.

    It is 70˚ right now and quite comfortable. Tomorrow will be about the same. I think it perfect weather.

    Have a great day!!

      Hi Kat!

      I don’t have many perennials now days, instead I’ve gone for bushes and trees. Works perfect for the dogs since they create paths and hiding places anywhere they want to 🙂

      It rained all day yesterday but today will be just cloudy and slightly warmer. I don’t mind the rain but why can’t it rain during the work week and be rain free during the weekends 🙂 🙂 🙂

      Have a great day!

      Christer.
